Israeli attacks on Gaza have surged as ceasefire negotiations, mediated by Qatar with involvement from the US and Egypt, reportedly approach a breakthrough. Over 61 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday alone, with the total death toll since October 7, 2023, surpassing 46,600, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The strikes have displaced thousands and left many trapped under rubble, with rescuers struggling to reach survivors. Observers note an increase in the intensity of attacks as reports of potential ceasefire agreements emerge.
Despite ongoing violence, Qatari officials express cautious optimism, stating that significant progress has been made in addressing key issues between Israel and Hamas. A draft agreement has been handed to both parties, and if signed, the ceasefire could be implemented swiftly.
